3) Can I send you my students' emails to your own email address?
4) She forgot to turn down the gas and the dinner burnt.
5) Can you turn up the volume ON the radio (of is a mistake?) Can I turn up the radio?

He let the students off with a warning. 8) He let off the students with a warning.

2) Would you please write a short description of your school (age range of your students, list of core subjects, if it offers different branches, and for how many years your pupils study Italian and/or Latin, etc.) to be included on our link to your school.
3) Can I send you my students' email addresses?
4) She forgot to turn down the gas, and the dinner burnt.
5) Can you turn up the volume on the radio? Can I turn up the radio? Either phrasing will work, but "of" isn't used well.
6) She took on the responsibility for the whole family. "all the family" isn't a mistake, but it reads awkwardly.
7) Both OK.
8) He let the students off with a warning.
He stopped to take on the students that lived in the next village. ("in the nearby village" is OK, too.)
